In Flanders Fields: Passchendaele 1917

Wolff, Leon

History

Penguin Canada

In this account of the Flanders campaign, Leon Wolff graphically describes the whole terrible business: from Haig's initial plan; his determination to carry it out despite constant opposition from the Cabinet and the muddle of doubts and disagreement among the military staff; through the early stages of the 'great offensive'; and to the scene of the battle itself - the Flanders fields which will 'forever haunt Western civilization'.

First published in 1960, Little Brown Brother won the Francis Parkman Prize from the Society of American Historians in 1962 as the book which "best combined serious historical scholarship and literary distinction." Available again, this book looks at a long history of Filipino struggle for independence. When the Spanish-American war broke out in 1898, the Philippines--a colony of Spain for nearly four centuries--was already in revolt against colonial rule, and its fight for freedom almost won. A vivid and closely documented narrative, this book looks at Philippine resistance to Spanish and American attempts at colonization, focusing particularly on the Philippine Insurrection in 1899 which killed 225,000 Filipinos.
